I love that his voice is deeper and has a mustache after reaching level 90. I don't think they were trying to say that he was leveling in Tanaris at 61, but that the leveling experience is comparable to wondering through a desert for days on end and the soul crushing despair that brings with it. I am not saying they are right but they are right.

Here is how I process that: For you to enjoy you game, you need to purchase all the expansions *and* purchase a level 90, or else you can't practically have fun with your friends.
Sure, you could level together but that's a /huge/ pain because you can /only/ run if they are on *and* they aren't on their high level / raiding -- otherwise you out level them and you can't run together anymore. But even *if* you did all this, you aren't going to break 500 iLvl, so you still aren't going to do SoO with your friends unless they carry you -- even if you knew how to play.

One question, why is a level 61 character running around what looks like Tanaris instead of Outland?

He probably heard that - in WoD - the portal to Outland will be at the Caverns of Time (which is in Tanaris). His facial expressions at the start of the video, tells that he already went to the caverns, but could not find the portal, and he knows, that he should walk back to Theramore, to catch the next ship. But he also heard, that Theramore was destroyed (but he doesn't know, it's still there until he finishes its scenario). So he just walked around in the desert until he saw a mirage: a mailbox - clearly, Tanaris has only 1 mailbox, at Gadgetzan - with full of mails. One of them says, he can boost to level 90 now™. But sadly, that's just part of his imagination - at least - for now™.

You probably missed that you'll get a lvl 90 character when purchasing/pre-ordering WoD.

If two players have the exact same deck and the exact same level of skill, luck will decide the victor.

I think buried in the 20 pages of people saying this is the fact that this "trailer" has been leaked early.

Bit later in thread there's a link to Blizzard employee linking the trailer in twitter so it's kinda official.
Just some time to build hype and get views on youtube until launch on tuesday/wednesday mainteance I guess.
